By Mattie Marsh

RE/MAX Advantage Real Estate
credits agent integrity and community
focused business standards for its
success in the Shenandoah Valley.
Voted as the top real estate company
in the News-Virginian 2019 Valley
Favorites Competition, RE /MAX has
been in business for more than 25 years
with two offices located in Waynesboro
and Staunton. A total of 36 real estate
agents work between the two locations,
covering much of the Valley realty.
First founded in Denver, Colorado in
1973, RE /MAX is now an internationally
known company with approximately
140,000 associates in more than 70
countries and territories, according to
their company profile.
The caliber and integrity of their local
agents helps makes the company
“unparalleled” in the real estate market in
the Valley, according to the company.
“RE /MAX Advantage has made it
our mission to provide our clients with
professional, highly trained agents that
are assisted by the finest administrative
personnel and services,” said RE /
MAX in their Valley Favorites competition
description. “Our agents have access
to ongoing weekly training and educational
opportunities that help them know
and understand the current real estate
market at any given time.”
Asked what distinguishes RE /MAX
as a real estate company, Greg Kaplan,
office manager at RE /MAX in Waynesboro,
said it is the business’ and agent’s
dedication to the local community.
“RE /MAX Advantage is set apart because
we have agents with a local focus
and worldwide branding that works for
customers in the Valley,” Kaplan said.
“Also, RE /MAX Advantage cares. Many
of our agents serve on numerous local
organizations outside of real estate,
including children’s athletics, local board
members, school clubs and associations,
and more.
“In addition, RE /MAX Advantage partners
with Children’s Miracle Network at
UVa,” continued Kaplan. “Their mission is
to improve and save the lives of as many
children as possible.”
